Rays of the family Rhinopteridae Jordan & Evermann, 1896 are highly migratory and widely distributed in warm tropical and temperate waters. Along the Brazilian coast, the presence of two species has been recorded: Rhinoptera bonasus Mitchill, 1815 and Rhinoptera brasiliensis Müller, 1836. These stingrays are commonly caught as bycatch in trawl fisheries, however, the two species lack distinctive external morphological features...

Malaria remains a major public health challenge, causing an estimated 600,000 deaths and 250 million infections annually. Most malaria control efforts focus on freshwater mosquito vectors, leaving saltwater‐tolerant vector mosquitoes inhabiting coastal ecosystems like mangrove forests understudied. Historically, the role of mangrove forests as breeding grounds for malaria vectors often motivated their destruction. However, man...

The seasonality of forage production is one of the main challenges in semi-arid regions, where environmental conditions limit agricultural productivity. One promising option is the use of elephant grass ‘BRS Capiaçu’, together with deficit irrigation. This study evaluated the impact of different irrigation depths with brackish water (50%, 75%, 100% and 125% of the reference evapotranspiration – ET 0 ) on the productive, physio...

Reverse osmosis is widely applied as an advanced treatment technology due to its high efficiency in removing organic micropollutants from wastewater. However, this process inevitably produces a residue with a high contaminant load, posing environmental challenges and requiring effective post-treatment strategies. In this study, the photoperoxidation process was investigated for the degradation of six pharmaceuticals (acetamino...
